The Nissan Leaf on the Farm

With tribute to USDA and other government furnished information of the post war advice converting Model-Ts to tractors --"Doodle Bugs". I towed the resurrected rear-ended 2013 Nissan Leaf up to Berkshire, NY from Duluth, GA. It is now in field trials as a farm machine in Upstate NY. Despite the lack of current ground clearance it is performing well in dirt and mud. I will be skidding firewood very soon. https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/06/08/doodlebug-1923-ford-model-t-tractor/ https://www.thehenryford.org/collections/explore/artifact/188731?AssetId=THF811118

The new year is started off pretty well. I have to admit that parking my sports car in my hanger after I pull out the plane to go flying was a great experience. We took this photo of the Ugly products at one of the Asian markets close by in Duluth. I guess they are trying to say "seconds". I was in Tampa for a day or so, this week I will be in Detroit for the day. I finally got around to plotting the flight log from one of our flights in Hawaii. It was 174NM. Very memorable. I have been talking with some folks going on an Expedition to an Antarctica Island called Heard island. Very interesting. We are looking forward to and planning our party on March 8th in Duluth. It will be good to see people.
